vINcENNEs Ind. Nov. 1O-When the ladies
of Vincennes first contemplated arranging for

were somewhat skeptical as to whether there

also feared that the press would be
friendly. Only week was consumed
in making the arrangements, and when the
mass meeting opened Sunday afternoon the
courthouse would scarcely hold the people,
The newspapers were not only just. but gener-
Gus. advertising extensively beforehand without
money and without price, and giving full and
favorable reports. The meetings continued
three days, ard, according to the Com
mercial. "the audiences were very large, and
composed of our very best citizens,
who had been attracted thither to hear two
ladies whose names are household words, not
only in the United State but in English speak
ing Europe" And the News report concludes
by saying: 'They were followed by Mrs. Gou-
gar in lively speech that caught the crowd and
warmed it up like house afre, and when she
called for vote on the question of equal suf-
frage more than two-thirds of the audience arose
and voted in the affirmative"
The lecturers were delighted with the beauti-
full court house and especially thankful for the
notices which forbade any tobacco spit on the

SHREWDNESS.

A successful business depends on good
goods and good sense. We know we've got
the one, and think our record of years testiies
that we use the other. We want our custom
ers to use it also. We believe they do use it:
and this is why we don't attempt to 3.fll
them full' of printers ink superlatives. We
have not the biggest store on earth or the
..largest stock" or the s.most magnificent
goods and so on through all the circus-poster
claims that vivid Imagination, unembar-
rassea by facts, can concoct.
1t is simply this way: THE WHEN is
clothing factory and makes its own goods for
its several stores. It meets all the demands
of the market and supplies them at the man
ufacturer's profit, thus saving purchasers the
addition of the dealers margin which they
have to pay elsewhere.
In hats we have not the advantage of being
a manufacturer but we have the advantage
of being several dealers We buy. not for
one store, but many; hence we buy to better
advantage, and we give you the benefit OF 1T.
Besides, we are pushing our hat trade as a
worthy companion to great clothing trade,
and prefer to take less profits in order to do
this.
The shrewd buyer is our best friend. Come
and see the goods and test the prices by the
quality. Wen let you be the judge, If you
don't get cheaper clothes and hats of US than
anywhere else in this market.
